RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY
Any of you west coasters get caught in the rain last week?
My daughter, son and myself did.

We stayed dry but spent 14 hours under the tarp on the first day. It was kind of neat watching the clouds race down the mountain. We also saw a huge rock slide that put a little scare in us.

Overall it was a good trip. It was nice not hiking in scorching weather.

RE: RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY
There was one day last week where we were blasted with rain for periods of 5 minutes at a time.

Cool temps do beat hot days for me. I'm glad I moved from NY to WA, 'cause around now back east, I'd be doing nothing.

It's long gone now. I hear it's well past the century mark inland. Makes me appreciate living on the coast.

Rain? What's rain?
It hasn't rained here since sometime in March! Then again it was 113 yesterday.

Have you noticed how it’s NOT RAINING MUCH again; how most of the weather fronts that have managed to come through this season have been DISSIPATED and BROKEN UP? Have you noticed the occasional WEIRD CLOUD SHAPES that appear with the few fronts that do manage to pass by? And how the jet stream has been FORCED NORTH again? How high pressure ridges continue to dominate?

Some say the rain is BEING TURNED ON and OFF by an irritated and vengeful G_d. In reality, however, it is Man who is playing G_d and doing the dirty work. None of this is ILLUSORY or ACCIDENTAL, for there is POWERFUL and COMPELLING EVIDENCE that the BIZARRE WEATHER patterns of recent years have been - to a very large degree - ENGINEERED, CONTROLLED, and INFLUENCED by BOTH the RUSSIAN and AMERICAN governments. To those of you familiar with the work of the SUPERMIND OF NIKOLA TESLA, the following will not come as much of a surprise.

On the Fourth of July, 1976, the former Soviet Union began broadcasting huge, PULSED ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS from three gigantic 40-million watt transmitters which beamed those signals HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD to the U.S. This electronic assault DISRUPTED AND JAMMED radio and television broadcast signals, enraged the FCC, and irritated ham radio operators, who quickly dubbed the signals 'The Russian Woodpecker,' because of their PULSED CADENCE.

To date, the Russians have completed nearly 30 of the HUGE TRANSMITTERS which emit signals primarily in the VERY DANGEROUS 10-Hertz range, otherwise known as Extreme Low Frequency (ELF). The technology is based on the brilliant work of the peerless electrical genius, Nikola Tesla. So, what exactly does the 'Russian Woodpecker' do and how does it do it? Consider the following:

These 'Tesla' transmitters create massive 'standing' ELF waves that form MAJOR HIGH PRESSURE 'blocking systems' that change the normal high altitude jet stream pattern, FORCE IT TO THE NORTH, and actually retard the normal flow patterns of incoming weather systems. Ever notice the television weather satellite pictures showing the jet stream pushed north and a BIG STATIONARY high pressure blocking nearly every major rain system?

ELF fields propagate vertically to the ground, creating 'standing waves' that can REDISTRIBUTE ENERGY and momentum in the atmosphere through cumulus convection. It has been CONSISTENTLY NOTED that variance of the ELF transmissions leads to a subsequent change in the route of the jet stream flow in the Northern Hemisphere within 72 hours.

The Soviets TURNED OFF their ELF Woodpecker signal for a brief period in 1980: "During the two-week lull, the Northern Hemisphere's jet stream was NORMAL. With the return of the Soviet ELF transmissions, the jet stream was DEFLECTED AGAIN by a persistent high-pressure ridge extending from the Yukon to Arizona.

There is much more, but I THINK YOU GET THE PICTURE. 'Everyone complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it,' doesn’t function any more.

Nikola Tesla said, in June 1900, " The time is very near when we shall have the precipitation of the moisture of the atmosphere under complete control..." If you have ever read a biography of the GREAT GENIUS, you'll know he wasn't joking.

Does the U.S. government have ITS OWN series of ELF/microwave transmitters? You bet. Can ELF be used to do more than ENGINEER and INFLUENCE just the weather (like human beings, for example)?

Yes, it CAN and IS. But that's another story...



By the way, YOU can BELIEVE ME as I had more than 42 BAG NIGHTS last year and have been backpacking FOR OVER 30 light-years.

Here's a fun game for a rainy day:

Buy four piglets from a farmer in the countryside.

Mark each piglet with a magic marker. Number them 1, 2, 3, 5.

Grease each pig thoroughly.

Release pigs in a local Macy's (one or two per floor).

Stand innocently at the perfume counter and silently laugh while they look for pig '4'.

Sounds good on paper, although I'm wondering what would be the best way to hide and carry four piglets into a store and grease them without anyone or the security cameras knowing that you are up to something. But the idea is funny even if it doesn't pass the common sense test. Maybe bunnies will work better .... less squealing ....

As gloomy as it has been around here we are actually below normal for rainfall by a few inches and need more rain to catch up. For the past month it's been cloudy and cool, but not much rain actually fell here. The creeks are pretty low for this time of the year. It seems like we get these small persistant showers, but no big rain all at once that will bring the creeks back. It's been a strange spring, weatherwise and the worst fishing for April and May, I can remember.

I was going to ask you Rich how the fishing has been. We've had quite a bit of rain here, but also a lot of drizzle like you say. Are you going to fish back at Pleasant Stream this year? Is it true that you can't have campfires at that site now?

The way things are going around here, I think the fishing will be better at Pleasant stream. They got much more rain out there. I'm not sure if they lifted the fire ban yet. June is a good time to go there. Last year, was excellent around that time.
